Kaban ni D_BystandeR: TABANG SA TINIPONG KANASURAN GIKINAHANGLAN SA SABAH???

A multisectoral group led by law professor from the 
University of the Philippines has sought the intervention of the United Nations in the ongoing Sabah crisis sparked by the incursion of the Sulu sultanate's army in Lahad Datu last February. Harry Roque Jr. and his group Center-Law has appealed to the UN Commission for Refugees (UNCR) and UN Commission for Human Rights (UNCHR), both based in Geneva, Switzerland, to intervene in the conflict that he said has resulted in "massive and gross human rights violations committed against Filipino refugees in Sabah by Malaysian agents."

In an urgent appeal, the group urged UNCR Commissioner Antonio Guterre to remind Malaysia to respect human rights of Filipinos in Sabah as guaranteed under international law. They also asked the UN to "remind Malaysia that it should provide effective remedies and compensation to the Filipino victims of the massive and gross human rights violations committed against them by Malaysian agents." 

They alleged that the Malaysian government violated the rights of Filipino refugees as provided under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - specifically rights against discrimination; to life, liberty and security of person; and  against torture.
